Ensemble Perceval is a classical music ensemble that was founded in 2005 in France. The ensemble is known for its unique approach to classical music, which combines traditional instruments with modern technology to create a sound that is both innovative and timeless. The founding members of Ensemble Perceval were all graduates of the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris. They were inspired to form the ensemble after attending a performance by the Kronos Quartet, which showcased the potential of combining classical music with modern technology. The original members of Ensemble Perceval were violinist Cécile Agator, cellist Guillaume Martigné, and pianist Jean-Baptiste Doulcet. Over the years, the ensemble has expanded to include a variety of other musicians, including percussionists, guitarists, and electronic musicians. One of the highlights of Ensemble Perceval's career was their performance at the Festival de Musique de Menton in 2007. The festival is one of the most prestigious classical music events in France, and the ensemble's performance was widely praised for its innovative approach to classical music. In 2009, Ensemble Perceval released their debut album, "Perceval Plays Piazzolla." The album featured the music of Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla, and was a critical and commercial success. The ensemble's unique interpretation of Piazzolla's music, which combined traditional instruments with electronic elements, was praised for its originality and creativity. In 2011, Ensemble Perceval was awarded the Prix de la Fondation Simone et Cino Del Duca, one of the most prestigious awards in French classical music. The award recognized the ensemble's contributions to the field of classical music, and their innovative approach to combining traditional and modern elements. In 2013, Ensemble Perceval released their second album, "Perceval Plays Glass." The album featured the music of American composer Philip Glass, and was once again praised for the ensemble's unique interpretation of classical music. The album was a commercial success, and helped to further establish Ensemble Perceval as one of the most innovative and exciting classical music ensembles in France. In addition to their performances and recordings, Ensemble Perceval is also known for their educational outreach programs. The ensemble regularly works with schools and community organizations to introduce young people to classical music, and to inspire them to pursue careers in music. Today, Ensemble Perceval continues to push the boundaries of classical music, and to explore new ways of combining traditional and modern elements. The ensemble's unique approach to classical music has earned them a dedicated following, and has helped to establish them as one of the most exciting and innovative classical music ensembles in France.
